Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
WAsHINGToN, March IA decision
was rendered to-day by the United
States Court in the case of Thomas
Baldwin, plaintiff in error, VS.. J. C.
Franks, United States Marshal, in error,
carried up from the United States Cir
cult Court of California. The case pre-.
sents q phase of the Chinese question
and invokes the rights of the Chinese,
under the Federal law. On the 18th of
February, 1856, Baldwin, the plaintiff in
error, and other citizens in the mining
town of Nicolaus, Sutter county, Cali.
fornia, drove out of that town with
force and violence number of resident
Chinese, by placing them on board Of
the &teamhoat Barge, plying on the
Feather river and sending them ont of
the limits Of the town and county. Bald.
win was arrested under warrant
issued by the Commissioner OF the Cir.
cult Court, charging him with having
entered into conspiracy with certain
other persons to deurive these Chinese
OF the equal protection OF the law, and
of equal privileges and immunities up.
der such laws. Baldwin applied to the
Circuit Court for his discharge upon a
writ of habeas corpus, but it was re.
fused and he appealed to the United
States Supreme Court, upon the ground
that the charge made against him was
not sufficient to justify his deteption.
The Judges in the Circuit Court were
divided in their opinion as to the fol.
lowing question:
l. Whether the conspiracy which ri.
suited in the expulsion of the Chinese
from Nicolaus, in the manner set forth
in the record, was an offense in viola.
ton of section 55l9, of the United
States statutes, and if so whether tina
section, as applied to such state of
facts, is constitutional.
2. Whether the acts charged against
Baldwin and his fellow conspirators con-
stituted an offense within the meaning
of section 55OS of the Revised Statutes,
and if 80 whether that section is con.
d. w neither SUCH dCtS, so pciioiHIou,
constitute an offense within the mean.
ing of that clause (section 1886 of the
Revised Statutes) which makes it an
offense to persons to conspire by force
to prevent, hinder or delay the execu.
ton OF any law of the United States, and
if so whether that section is con.
The Court in long and
opinion by Chief Justice
Waite held that the United States un.
doubtedly has the power to provide
for the punishment of those who are
guilty of depriving Chinese subjects Of
any rights, privileges, immunities or ex-
emptions, guaranteed them by treaties.
After reviewing carefully in the light Of
previous decisions all the questions
raised by the case the Court reversed
the judgment of the Court below, which
denied the prisoners petition for release
on habeas corpus and remanded the case
for further proceedings. Justices Field
and Harland dissented.

EMPEROR WILLIAM.
convinced of the Pacific Dispo,i
t1On of the Pope.

OOnVAmCeO OF the FaClftC Dis SDOui l.
tfon OF the Pope.
BERLIN, March 7.--Emperor William
yesterday received Herr Wedel Piedoriff,
President of the Reichstag. In the
conversation which took place the En-.
peror said that he was reluctantly com.
PEELED to dissolve the late Reichstag,
despite his explanation to the Reichs tag
of the superiority of the Germans over
their neighbors in military matters. The
opposition, being in the majority, re.
fused to sanction the military bill to a
necessary extent. and reasonable hope
that the septennate term would have
been adopted after the example given
by France had proved fallacious. 1t
was more gratifying now to cherish the
hope that large majority in the new
Reichstag would accept the bill at the
outset. Referring to the attitude of the
Pope during the elections, he said that
he had already been convinced of the
pacific disposition of His Holiness, and
that it was on this account that Ger.
many had asked him to act as arbitrator
in the dispute with Spain about the
Caroline Islands. In conclusion the
Emperor expressed the hope that all
ecclesiastical trouble between Prussia
and the Vatican would be peacefully
and completely settled.

GOOD western outlet.

New YORK, March THE Wall
Street Indicator says: A very important
railroad enterprise is now projected, in
which the Vanderbilt roads are inter.
ested and which will give that system
reliable western connection. The project
is to be build line from Kansas City to
Alton. The company has already been
organized for this purpose and the title

field and will shortly reach Peoria, where
it will be brought in connection with the
system of roads centering at that point.
At Litchfeld connection will be made
with Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati
and Indianapolis and that road will be
made part of the great southwestern
system, which will make that property
one of the most valuable of the Wander
bilt lines. At Joliet the Michigan Cen.
trail will also be given connection with
the Chicago, Santa Fe and California
line, recently purchased by the Atchison
Company.

perhaps, will be the discontinuance of

the failure of the item appropriating
$4,000 for telegraphing and reporting
these warnings. So nearly exhausted is
the sum now available for this purpose
that a heavy cut must be made in the
